About Pria Kataaria Puri
Among the original proponents of the Indian ‘Nouvelle Couture’ Pria Kataaria Puri stands in sharp contrast to her contemporaries. Having won the ‘Bharat Yuva Ratna’ award along with her ‘Bharat Vikas Award’ for designing women’s wear, she has received vast recognition for her work since she started her label in 1990.
Pria received formal training in fashion designing from FIDM, San Francisco, where she showcased her first occidental evening wear at the San Francisco Fashion Center, and the rest as we say is history.
Pria is committed in creating an “occidental couture and cruise line” which is an amalgamation of oriental and western ideas to add inner beauty and mystic to the female form. Her collections are modern in styling and ethnic in their expressions with Asian colors, ancient heritage of fine embroideries and vintage prints reflecting her distinctive specialization.
Her label represents the multicultural and multifaceted woman of today who believes in elegant, luxurious, and timeless piece of an art as clothing. She believes that “elegance doesn’t mean being noticed, it means being remembered.”
Her client-list includes Paris Hilton, Vanessa Paradis, Princess Francoise, Sar La Princess Lea De Belgique, Sar La Princess Marie Gabrielle De Savoie, Princess Christine Sturdza, Queen Rania of Jordan, Ivana Trump, Aishwarya Rai, Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, Tabu, Mahima Choudary, Raveena Tandon, Simone Singh, Madonna, and many more.
About Be Kind Movement
Be Kind Movement is a registered UK charity that provides financial aid to disadvantaged women and children in the UK and in India. The charity is keen to create meaningful opportunities for people to work together to shine a torch on the values of caring, sharing and helping thereby making the world a kinder place.
A key component of Be Kind Movement’s ethos therefore is also to Report Kind Acts – amazing stories about inspirational people, heart touching circumstances or acts of kindness that unfold in front of us. We hope these stories will be the ones we choose to share with each other, to inspire our children with, to bond with our colleagues, to lift us in our darkest days through depression to strength and comfort.Facebook album Report A Kind Act

MISSION
Be Kind Movement’s purpose is to empower disadvantaged and underprivileged women and children in the UK and in India by providing financial aid to grass root NGOs and organisations whose activities include:
- The Prevention and Relief of Poverty and Financial Hardship
- The Advancement of Education
POVERTY
We provide financial relief to those who either live below the poverty line or those who cannot satisfy a basic need without requiring additional assistance. We assist by providing financial aid towards those affected by domestic violence, prostitution but also shelter, clothing, food, micro-financing loans thereby improving the quality and standard of life.
EDUCATION
Education plays a vital role in transforming people’s future. Our goal is to support those NGOs working to equip women and children with education, knowledge, understanding and skills so they can be independent and earn a livelihood and therefore transform their future.
